Image contrast

The difference in Luminance or color intensity between adjacent regions of an image, essential for defining shape, depth, and visibility.

Presence & Localized Contrast

In Adobe Lightroom Classic, “Presence” sliders allow for the manipulation of mid-tone and edge-based contrast:

• Texture: Enhances fine-scale details and surface micro-contrast without altering larger structural shapes.
• lightroom: Increases contrast in the mid-tones, affecting edge definition and larger structural transitions.
• Dehaze: Adjusts atmospheric haze to either recover shadow detail or add atmospheric depth, impacting both contrast and Color Saturation.
